Product Overview

More precision, more profit

Flash Point runs your product to spec with industry-leading efficiency and accuracy.

Designed to make flash point analysis safe, simple and flexible, Icon by PAC ensures your product meets precise specifications. Aided by advanced flow control, flow metering and sample cooling options, Flash Point completely isolates the flash point process within.

An innovative air cleaning system removes deposits and contaminants, while internal cameras enable observation of the sparking process – meaning you can operate and maintain the analyzer without needing to open icon’s ATEX and IECEx-compliant explosion-proof housing.

How the Flash Point analyzer works

The analyzer heats a sample and applies a test spark to the liquid, indicating the safe storage temperatures for your products.

The sample is pumped into a test cup and trapped within it. At a controlled rate, air is also introduced to the test cup, which is then heated. At selected intervals, electrodes positioned over the sample generate a high-voltage spark.

When it is reached, the flash point is detected by a highly sensitive low-mass thermocouple. The sample flow is then re-established and the airflow increased, allowing the test cup to cool in preparation for the next cycle.
